You are probably sticking your finger too far on to the trigger. Try no more than your first joint of your finger tip. You can unload the gun and practice dry firing. you don't need to go to the range to do this just make sure the gun is empty and practice away.

My experience has been that if you stick with it, even the most uncomfortable weapons start to feel natural in your hands. The human body is very adaptable. As long as you can reach the controls after time you will conquer this beast. And the Ruger has gotten generally good reviews so I think it is worth sticking with for a few more months.

When I got my Glock 27, which does not allow a pinkie grip, it took 150 rounds over three sessions before I started to feel comfortable. I could have added an extension that allowed the pinkie grip, but that would have compromised the concealability. I can shoot it just fine now. And I think you will do fine with the Ruger too. I'll wager you will see an improvement with each range session.

Rather than limit the number of weapons that are available to you, perhaps you could engage in a program of resistance exercises to improve grip strength. This will offer the added benefit of improved accuracy in shooting.

... from a quick google look up the trigger pull should be 6.3lb's or roughly what you expect in single action of the m9, whats the deal?

Not a terrible idea. I use a rubber ring I purchased at a rock climbing gym I frequent to help out with building grip strength (and reducing stress/ refraining from strangling my colleagues), but something I've been intending to buy is the gripmaster, which on their website is even advertised as increasing grip strength to improve accuracy for firearm's shooting.

I had a LC9, liked the gun hated the trigger, its a very long pull, you almost have to wonder when its going to fire. I gave up on it and purchased a Kimber Solo. The trigger is awesome, its extremely easy to aim and hits your target, and when i finally got all the bumps worked out it has become my main carry gun. Does anyone know if there are any fixes to the LC9 trigger? (IE like the Ghost trigger for Glocks or from local gun smiths) I think I would purchase another one if the trigger could be worked on. Other then the trigger I liked the gun a lot.

My S & W 340 PD has like a 14 pound trigger (according to the articles I've read). It is long an heavy. But I got used to it.

People seem to be making up their minds after the very first range session. You will adapt over time. Give the gun a chance.

I have owned a lot of simi autos, but this trigger is the worst! The pull is LONG, HEAVY, and rough. Additionally, I'm having failure to eject and feed problems, even with good ammo. Though I love the size and features, the gun will go if I don't find solutions. Anyone found solutions?
